No, the repository will be just fine. Even better: if you have set the
svn:eol-style property, Subversion will take care of 'fixing' your file
if your editor screwed up the EOL's in the file. For example, if your
editor decides to write the file with LF style instead of CRLF as you've
set with the property, then Subversion will
* throw an error when you try to commit the file ("inconsistend EOL style")
* fix the EOL's when you do a cleanup.
